Lippi scholarship winners are announced

Each year, the Angels Over Sandpoint and Ivano’s Ristorante sponsor a September golf scramble to fund the Jim Lippi Family Scholarship.

For many years, the Angels and the Lippi family have been very generous with their support to our community. Jim Lippi was known for always helping someone in need, and the Angels Over Sandpoint have contributed much to countless individuals in our community.

This scholarship continues that tradition and provides financial help for college or trade school to graduating Bonner County students who exhibit exceptional determination, courage, and a desire to continue his or her education in the face of less-than-perfect circumstances. This year with the COVID-19 uncertainties, events to fund along with scholarship awards and student plans are still somewhat challenging. Yet, $6,500 was spread among the following students at three Bonner County schools.

• Sandpoint High School: Makylee Lambert, Maximillian Reed, Ellen Clark, Damian Jahn, Kayelin Otterson, Chandler Kees, Chloe Martin;

• Clark Fork High School: Brice Sieben-Nickle, Cameron Garcia, Lydia Selph;

• Priest River High School: Lille Sennett.

The Angels Over Sandpoint are excited to announce the return of the Ivano’s Italian Open Golf Scramble to be held Monday, September 13, at the Idaho Club, continuing the tradition of supporting the community and high school seniors.
